And the actress who played her just got nominated for a supporting actress Oscar! That would be Anna Kendrick in Up in the Air — itself nominated for Best Picture — for her superb portrayal of Cornell grad Natalie Keener. In the office, Natalie is everything that Andy Bernard isn’t: professional, upwardly ambitious, and terribly stiff.
Where Andy Bernard reminisces aloud of his Here Comes Treble a cappella superstardom at Cornell, Natalie is the type whose more likely to remember nights spent tirelessly studying for her upper-level Johnson School classes, which she took on top of her AEM courses just to show her classmates that the Ag School Biz program is not a joke.

So this was first reported by Guest of a Guest (where I used to work, oddly enough), and now has hit Gawker. The exchange between the two sexting fiends is hilariously porny, and contains gems such as: “And I will be SO FUCKING HORNY after I get done SPANKING that FINE ASS of yours for hours, you’ll be FULL for a week after you swallow me! And I hear that CUM is an excellent source of protein, as well as other nutrients!!! :)”
Also: “Because more than half the time, I’m actually just fixing for just Jake as Trevor has already eaten half the house by the time I get home. And the minute we come in the door, Jake is heading straight for his highchair and wanting fed before I even have my coat off. So I fix him something quick (grilled cheese, omelet, etc.). Or over the weekend I’m make a big pot of something so we can have leftovers, which Jake and Trevor don’t mind, but I get sick of them within a day or two and resort back to popcorn.I’m bad, I know.I think I need a good spanking.and to be put on my knees and force fed.”
The thing is, I’ve talked to a number of undergrads in various colleges who have NOT received these incriminating e-mails, so Gawker and Guest are wrong to say that the entire campus was cc’ed. I’ve just confirmed, actually, via an old Sunny friend of mine who has a friend in the business school, that only the Johnson School of Management was cc’d on these emails. For reference, 267 students were admitted to the MBA program in 2009 and 272 were admitted in 2010. That’s much less of a colossal fuck-up than sending it out to the over 15,000 students and grad students under the full umbrella of Cornell’s numerous colleges and schools.
So the cherry blossoms are in bloom, along with the magnolias and some other flowering trees of whose name I have no knowledge. Another picture after the jump!
So, this might just get national attention and I can still pre-empt the Daily Sun, so here’s something my friend Chris Donohoe send to me. Chris is a really nice guy, and — sorry dude — we’ve pretty much known he was gay since freshman year. In any case, he is a gay man of faith and that’s something that the religious group he was involved with couldn’t learn to tolerate:
Tomorrow (Thursday, April 23) an article will run in the Cornell Daily Sun. It will showcase the following information.
At the beginning of this academic year I (Chris Donohoe) was asked to step down from my leadership position with a religious organization (Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship) on campus after coming out of the closet. Although the university is taking aggressive action to address this injustice, it is time for the LGBT community and its allies to unite.
Greetings, fellow Cornellian! I come to you with the news that you too have the power to vote for the undergraduate student-elected trustee, one among 64 powerful persons who control Cornell’s destiny. Mostly by consulting with Miss Cleo. The Cornell Daily Sun went down and did the normal journalistic thing of taking video at a debate sponsored by none other than themselves, but I decided to make a mash-up video of the budding politicians’ uncannily uniform rhetoric. It would’ve been longer and better, but my video editing program was being a total [expletive for female genitalia] and lost my work not once, not twice, but thrice. Voting for the Student-elected Trustee ends tomorrow at 8am, but you can enjoy this little guy anytime:
Everybody knows “The Economy” sucks. Even David Skorton, our university president (case ya didn’t know), whose Stanford-schooled super-senior son can’t even find employment despite the fact that he took an extra half-year to do an extra major! Sadface. Guess he’ll have to live off the meager $700,000/year salary that daddy earns — but let’s hope he doesn’t have too many coke parties, considering the fact that his noble father hath forgone a salary increase this year. At tonight’s “Senior Presidential Reception,” dapper gentlemen and ladies crowded around our president, trying to get a good word in, or perhaps just to snap a poorly aimed cameraphone picture (see left).

An artist's rendering of the general flavor of this article.
If you have ever had your moments of doubt about the so-called liberal media, look no further than yesterday’s above-the-fold cover story in the esteemed Cornell Daily Sun. The article describes the pain, dismay, and utter, utter misfortune that 25 prospective students endured at the hands of the evil (Evil?) Office of Financial Aid. What happened was this: FinAid accidentally sent out a high-five e-mail to those 25 students, who had already been mercilessly rejected. According to the article, “Students who received the article said they were confused, disappointed, and outraged.”
Watching The Messenger, I felt as if I was moderating a group-therapy circle—a support group for veterans whose lives have been torn asunder. There seems to be something movie-ish withheld from this movie; the plot is scaled-back and purposeful: it has ends to meet. But its self-abnegation seems like a sacrifice to higher values; the filmmakers wanted to get at an unadulterated truth. So far as public-service movies go, The [...]
So William A. Jacobson, a conservative law professor at Cornell Law, has this random Internet blog where he bitches about liberals and the "nutroots" on the liberal interweb tubes. His latest posts has found himself at the center or our nation's stupidest debate.
Obama and Biden went out Saturday to grab burgers. MSNBC followed with cameras. The clip that appeared on MSNBC cut off Obama ordering just before he asked for Dijon Mustard on his burger.
Cornell's finest Mr. Jacobson, takes offense. He think MSNBC cut the footage to protect us from knowing that Obama is really an elitist (even worse meta analysis than I provide). Also, Obama wrote in his book The Audacity of Hope about how he loves Djion Mustard and tells a story about getting mad at a campaign staffer who told him not to eat it for fear of looking elitist. But Jacobson posted said belief on his blog. Conservative super blog Hot Air then linked Mr. Jacobson's post to their website, and now liberal blogs such as Huffington Post are attacking Jacobson for being a dweeb and unworthy of teaching at such a fine institution.
What a record, Cornell. Two major media spotlights this year: once when Coulter and Olbermann fought over their diplomas and now because our law professors hate Obama's condiment choice...
Because blogging is the art of turning trivialities into news.
There are certain things about the original Japanese cooking show “Iron Chef” and its lame American counterpart that we can never really know. For example, we know that ICA host Mark Dacascos is being ironic when he asks the challenger “which chef will cower at the sight of your massive pepper mill?” But is Chairman Kaga, the host of Iron Chef [...]
When I was a kid and Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry, Be Happy" came on the radio on my way to school, I would always, without exception, cringe. Maybe I'm just a killjoy at heart, but I always reasoned [...]
As a person who lives here sans any sort of vehicle, my most readily available retailers are Wilson Farms and the Cornell Store, and that’s it. While Wilson Farms is a prime spot for buying bananas that don’t cost a ridiculous 89 cents each (as they do at all Cornell Dining locations), cigarettes, and scratch-off lottery tickets, whenever I need to buy any other items necessary to my well being [...]
OUR FIRST EVER VIDEO!!!
Come watch Bob Barker heckle Cornell students, eventually gather some bros, and play a fast-paced game of the Price is Right.
